Pascal keywords

[rchastain2]

Hello @orbitalquark and Textadept friends.

I was surprised to see the word index coloured as a Pascal keyword.

So I open lexers/pascal.lua and I see several words that are not Pascal keywords (according to my Pascal knowledge). So I wonder where the Pascal keywords list comes from. Maybe it includes old dialects that I don't know?

It isn't really an issue. Only a question, out of curiosity.

I do not remember, as that keyword list was compiled 17 years ago. I probably constructed it from Turbo Pascal, Free Pascal, and possibly Delphi.

It looks like 'index' is a directive in Free Pascal (https://wiki.freepascal.org/Reserved_words)

I see, thank you.

You are right, 'index' can be used in combination with 'external'. I had forgotten.

External functions

It's certainly the same for the other keywords that I don't know.

Problem solved.
